Chapter 9: Jiang Luoli's Confidence!

"I never expected that after just one night, the changes here would be so immense!"

Lu Chuan looked at the primeval forest before him and could not help but exclaim aloud.

Before the Spiritual Energy Revival, a remote forest like this would definitely have been a place rarely visited by humans.

In ordinary times, one wouldn't see a single shadow for half a year or even several years; only some herb gatherers or poachers would ever visit.

At that time, for ordinary people, the vegetation in the forest was already exceptionally lush, making it very difficult to walk through.

Now, following the fall of a Seven-Colored Light Rain, this primeval forest has changed drastically. The giant trees, which were already dozens of meters tall, have grown even taller and sturdier, changing by several times over. Furthermore, their leaves have become much broader, each one like a palm-leaf fan, shielding the sun from above.

Lu Chuan glanced to his side and saw that the weeds and vines, which were originally waist-high, could now submerge an adult. Even if he were to burrow into the grass and remain motionless, it would generally be very difficult to discover his presence.

With plants undergoing such a massive transformation, the insects and beasts, both large and small, living in the primeval forest are likely no less impressive.

Lu Chuan could even hear the sounds of some giant creatures passing by.

Watching this scene, Lu Chuan thought of the Spiritual Energy Revival mentioned by the system and could not help but be lost in thought.

"If my guess is correct, the outside world must have certainly undergone huge changes as well!"

This Spiritual Qi Baptism has an impact on both animals and plants, so humans can also use this to undergo changes.

At the very least, after ordinary people bathe in the Seven-Colored Light Rain, their physical fitness will definitely become better than before.

"People are never satisfied with the status quo. If a significant number of people who have received the Spiritual Qi Baptism appear, then this world... is likely going to fall into chaos!"

Lu Chuan could even infer that some originally ordinary humans, after their physical fitness in terms of strength and other aspects became stronger, would definitely rely on these changes to stir up disputes.

If it were only one or two people doing this, it would at most be considered disturbing social order, but if it were a group of people, or even an entire country...

If everyone in the world did this, then endless conflict would certainly erupt!

"Forget it!"

After thinking for a while, Lu Chuan suddenly realized that he was now a snake, and the human world no longer had anything to do with him.

"Even if human thermal weapons can still deal with me now, as long as I become stronger, I can suppress everything!"

"There's absolutely no need to think so much right now."

"Hmph... hmph..."

Just at this moment, bursts of strange noises came, seemingly the panting of some kind of animal.

Lu Chuan looked in the direction the sound came from and saw a huge wild boar appear in his line of sight. Now, the wild boar's eyes were flushed red, and especially after seeing him, it erupted with a thick sense of ferocity, as if it would attack in the next second.

"Just in time!"

Seeing this, a smile could not help but emerge in Lu Chuan's heart, and then he opened his mouth and sprayed out a cloud of black poisonous mist.

"Let's use you to see just how powerful my 【Corrosive Poison Mist】 really is."

"Aooo—"

In an instant, the giant wild boar let out a shrill, miserable cry and turned to run, but that black poisonous mist was like a maggot on a tarsal bone, impossible to shake off, and its vitality grew weaker and weaker...

Jianghai City.

Ginkgo Villa.

This was a massive manor standing in the city center, where exotic flowers, rare herbs, and precious tree species were everywhere, even surpassing an average botanical garden. At this moment, Jiang Luoli was leading several strong bodyguards, passing between two ancient stone lions, and then crossing that heavy gate to enter the villa.

A fresh, natural scent rushed toward her face.

Opposite, a spirit wall engraved with flowers, birds, fish, and insects stood on the central axis of the gate, blocking outsiders who wanted to peek at the scenery inside the villa.

Jiang Luoli bypassed the spirit wall and truly entered the interior of Ginkgo Villa, at which point she turned to the bodyguards and said.

"Pass the order down: without my command, no one is allowed to enter."

"Yes!"

The bodyguards were all burly men over 1.8 meters tall with bulging muscles. Now wearing black suits and sunglasses, they respectfully bowed to Jiang Luoli before turning to leave.

At this time, Jiang Luoli stood there, her gaze shifting, eventually landing on the giant ginkgo tree in front of her, her eyes slowly moving upward as if she were pondering something.

After the Seven-Colored Light Rain, this ginkgo tree had grown taller and larger, its branches lush and leaves dense, bringing a large area of shade to this manor, as if it were a guardian deity.

At this moment, the ginkgo tree was in its flowering season, and a faint fragrance permeated the air, which was very alluring; however, what was most attractive was that among these flowers, there was a flickering fluorescent light.

Jiang Luoli was staring at this fluorescent light, a curve appearing at the corner of her mouth, as if she were very happy.

In fact, this Ginkgo Villa was not originally an asset of the Changsheng Group; it originally belonged to a private individual and was usually sold as a tourist attraction by its former owner.

Especially this ginkgo tree, which brought considerable revenue to the villa, with large numbers of people coming every day to take photos or pose for pictures with it.

After Jiang Luoli was reborn, she spent a huge sum of money to buy the entire Ginkgo Villa, and from then on, Ginkgo Villa became her private territory, with anyone forbidden from entering or leaving.

"If I remember correctly, this ginkgo tree has already lived for a full thousand years!"

Jiang Luoli stared at this giant tree, a look of anticipation slowly flowing in her eyes.

"In my past life, this ginkgo tree bore a kind of extraordinary Strange Fruit, which could be called a rare heavenly treasure."

"Someone was lucky enough to consume this Strange Fruit, after which their strength soared, and they used this to take off, becoming a renowned powerhouse!"

"In this life... this Strange Fruit will be mine!"

As she spoke, Jiang Luoli's gaze flickered, and there was an unconcealable ambition in her eyes.

She relied on her experience from her past life, laying out plans in advance after being reborn, wanting to take all the opportunities she knew of into her own hands, so that she would not repeat the mistakes of her past life.

This ginkgo tree was the opportunity she had intercepted!

"Ginkgo, oh Ginkgo, from now on, I will not let anyone disturb you."

Before long, Jiang Luoli came to the side of the ginkgo tree, patted its thick trunk, and said softly.

"From now on, you just grow well, and I will also bring you the best nutrients so that you can do your best to gestate the Strange Fruit."

"When the time comes, don't let me down."

This ginkgo tree seemed to understand human speech; as a breeze blew by, the leaves rustled against each other, emitting bursts of beautiful notes.

At least, in Jiang Luoli's view, it was at least that way.

After talking to the ginkgo tree to herself for a while, she looked toward the spot where she had lost track of Lu Chuan, her expression gradually becoming resolute.

"With this ginkgo tree, combined with my cultivation technique, I can definitely pull away from the others quickly."

"Poison King, it won't be long before I come to subdue you myself!"
